Answer:

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room

Explanation:

Work is defined as:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

From the formula, we see that the work done is zero when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other. Let's now analyze each situation:

A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. --> work is done, because the force that pushes the bookcase is in the same direction of the displacement

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room. --> no work is done, because the force to carry the book is vertical, while the displacement of the books is horizontal

C) A chair is lifted vertically with respect to the floor. --> work is done, because the force that lifts the chair is vertical, and the displacement is vertical as well

D) A table is dropped onto the ground. --> work is done, because the force of gravity (that makes the table falling down) is vertical and the displacement of the table is also vertical.

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

A tetrahedron has an equilateral triangle base with 25.0-cm-long edges and three equilateral triangle sides. The base is paralle
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a. 7.046 Nm²/C

b. 2.348 Nm²/C

Explanation:

Data given:

Base of equilateral triangle = 25.0 cm = 0.25 m

Strength of electric field = 260 N/C

In order to find the electric flux we first have to find out the area of triangle.

Area of triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

                         = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.25)^{2}

                         = 0.0271 m³

Lets find electric flux,

      Electric Flux = E. A

                          = 260×0.0271

                          = 7.046 Nm²/C

Now we can find the electric flux through each of the three sides.

Electric flux through three sides = \frac{7.046}{3}

                                                = 2.348 N m²/C

If a longitudinal wave passes a specific point seven times per second, and the distance between wave rarefaction points is 2 met
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: 14 m/s

Explanation:

The speed S of a sound wave is given by the following equation:

S=\lambda f

Where:

\lambda=2 m is the wavelength of the sound wave

f=7 times/s=7 Hz

S=(2 m)(7 Hz)

Hence:

S=14 m/s
